  1. The last update was 7 days ago, what you are seeing is Arma 2 Beta updates. Those are no handled by DayZ or its staff, it is handled by BI, the developers of Arma2.

    [DayZMod] The Dayz Statistics thread!

    You mean how many new unique players /day? that would be 16,295/day based on past 4 days. (13,729 since release)

    [DayZMod] The Dayz Statistics thread!

    There are 2,680 new bandit characters/day with 7,904 bandits being killed/day XD but your "humanity" carries over, new char doesnt mean you're a fresh non bandit. So its a little tough to track.

    [DayZMod] The Dayz Statistics thread!

    There is 4 main web developers, - Clayton: Talks the talk, dabbles a lot in different areas, helps code things, and manages everything - Joe: Designs all the art, presentations, web designs and does pretty much all the CSS styling of the forums and website. - Myself: I code all the site, and work on website tools as well as the future character profile stuff. - Robert: Shoots down my awesome ideas :( lol he works server side and advises us when we want to do server<->site content. A lot of the development is already way ahead, the issue is mainly the limitations of the mod right now as well as not wanting to cause stress on the hive, the whole team and I think pretty much all the players would much prefer a smoother game experience over a rough patch every night when we need to heavily query the database. Creating things can brisk away quite nicely, but we are not prepared to take any risks with queries and cause any kind of hive stress right now plus there is lots of other things going on that the main developers address to allow us webbies better functionality :D The main guys who work on the web stuff (Myself, Joe and Clayton) have zero development on the Mod/Game, much more skilled specific team members work on the game itself. The team is still small.
  6. Minecraft was released in beta (maybe alpha idk) and you paid $20 for it, then you got it, for life, for all updates. Its not really "Minecraft Model" its just more familiar to say it like that, im sure you know what Minecraft is right?
  7. I went in, and got pwned soon as i spawned, so i spawned again and i ran miles, i then went in a house and someone tried to shoot me, i shot him back, i then got sniped, but i wasnt dead, someone tries to revive me, he got shot but i was revived, then i got shot i realise i sux lol i might it more later on XD
  8. if you throw some common sense onto it, Rocket does not make anything off Dayz, has not made a single penny, and so if he wants the Stand Alone to succeed and he needs to pay for people to make it, then it has to be sold. As he has said countless times he likes the Minecraft model, so I expect something like that.
  9. It is silly to try compare bf3 thats built by expertises who have lots of years of experience under their belt and is developed by a big company, to a Mod in alpha built by a couple guys still learning... lol

    Can my computer run DayZ?

    its still same, its just server issues as well as some modding elements can cause like (like animal and zombie paths in previous patches).
  12. Indeed, woke up one day, and there I was, a hospital window! could not believe it myself.
  13. hahah, surprised you guys took me seriously, lighten up a little it was a joke, because its on the front page... and people complain like crying little girls, who dont have balls... ya noe, ruined now i had to explain it ... :)

    [DayZMod] The Dayz Statistics thread!

    That would be an awesome statistic, though probably easily exploitable :( lol.
  17. 1 Guy works for BI, not the whole team, 1. No one pointed a gun at your head and told you to buy the game lol. Not to mention Dean and the whole DayZ Mod gets 0 cash, nothing, Buying Arma 2 pays for Arma 2, the Mod is a free entity on the side. So if it goes standalone it is quite possible people will have to buy again, and ofc if you follow the news it will go down the Minecraft route my guess (buy a alpha/beta/etc). For the download/patching, i think it will also be similar to Minecraft in that you login and it patches in the client. Nothing external. Just guessing though, i think that be best way to do it.

    AS50 Sniping a UH-1H Pilot

    When you die in chopper you're thrown out, you see his kill count go up so he did kill him. Very epic shot.
  19. One of the requirements for the game is "balls", dont think a lot of people fulfil this. As for the "newbie", it is very easy to throw a gun in ur backpack then sneakily pull it out when no one is looking and shoot, especially a rifle.
  20. Jokes on you, ALT-F4! (or abort... ) XD
  21. I think its a server/client sync issue, I have been and broke hospital windows, got in and my friend was like woah you warped through the glass, im like huh its broke? he goes nope its up, im like okay just break it, and he cant, its up on his client but on the server its already broke so nothing happens, he relogged and it was glass was broke.

    [DayZMod] The Dayz Statistics thread!

    Some of the requested statistics are not possible right now in the current setup, so it may take a while before some of these are posted!

    WAITING FOR HOST

    Not enough caps.
  24. I am not saying people are crying, there is just a lot of "why nothing been done", there are things done, but you have to remember that it is mostly on the BattleEye and BI side of things, a Mod can only do so much and things BE/BI do, they wont be posting on this forum, if you want to get an answer from them, post on their respective forums. A mod has its limits in areas like this. And while you want answers, just be patient, it is not being ignored, there have been many of the dev team stating they are trying to prevent this and that but people still question/complain/QQ after because a new exploit arises or the same exploit re-appears through a new method. A dev can state they're aware and trying to solve an issue, but that doesnt mean it will be solved or not in next patch or a week or so, can take a long time, months even. Look at Cod Leaderboards, broken for life lol.
